An excellent experience from start An amazing event, extremely well to finish. The route was brilliantly organised with fantastic, enthusiastic staff. marked out, the food was gorgeous and So much support, food, drink and tonnes of plentiful, the staff couldn’t have been information available if you ever had any more helpful and supportive if they questions. I’ve done lots of different races and tried, a wonderful event that I can’t this ranks as one of the best. It was tough but praise highly enough. so worth it...a little bit sad it’s over.
